In this month’s Agricology vlog, Jez Taylor - head grower at Daylesford Organic Farm in the Cotswolds, discusses how he manages weeds in their organic market garden system, explaining that weeds can have a huge impact on the crops, potentially robbing them of nutrition.

He describes how they wait for weeds to become visible after planting crops, then use field hoes or rotavators around crops.

But as it is now March and there is no chance of cultivating, they carry out mulching - particularly of perennials.

He goes on to describe how they use a covering of mypex plastic to smother weeds, having found it the most effective way of controlling weeds in perennials.

He discusses the sustainability of using mypex and maximising garden space by growing something in every inter row.
